Fig. l is a perspective view of an immersion container embodying the present invention.

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view of the container shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the fluid directing disc shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but illustrating a modification of the present invention.

Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view of the container shown in Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is a perspective view of another fluid directing disc illustrating another modification of the present invention.

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of another fluid directing disc illustrating a further modification of the present invention.

The. topv section 17 has a perforated top portion 20 with perforations 21 therethrough and bottom section 18 has a bottom portion 22 with perforations 23 therethrough.
